Literary podcasts?

[Potter]

Are there any podcasts that focus or even touch on literature from a traditional perspective? I’m thinking of something like Joseph Pearce’s “Great Works in Western Literature”, or “Inside the Pages”, both hosted at Discerning Hearts. The conversation wouldn’t necessarily need be “Christian”, but…serious, at the least. I am more interested in listening to conversation about honor, virtue, grace, and such than academics probing Homer for insight on gender politics, or news that hails the like of Fifty Shades as literature…which is what I find in most ‘literary podcasts’.

Try this…

radiomaria.us/catholic-classics/

I used to listen to it and enjoyed it but Radio Maria changed their website and no longer provide the RSS feed url or at least I can’t find it. So I end up forgetting about it because you have to go to the website to download it.

If you do find the RSS feed let me know.

Wow! An entire podcast for the Inferno? I’ll have to dig out my copy of Anthony Esolen’s translation and read along. (Are you familar with Rob Dreher’s How Dante Saved My Life?)

I believe they started on St. Augustine’s Confessions last December.
